Sometimes!

Somedays are better than others! Somedays I just don't want to be a Mom. Ryan has been working alot and mostly he has Sundays off.

Not today, and this morning I had a little pitty party. I just didn't want to be "ON" ya know!

I'm good now.... (amazing how a cute and funny 2.5 yr old can get you out of a mood)

Trying to get the incentive to get myself and Carson dressed to shovel the driveway, in between of course, laudry, tiding the house and oh yeah getting more stuff done for the craft show on Dec 2nd! (okay maybe a little pity party was left in me LOL)

First Goodbye Ali, now it's Hello Ali

Well I'm going to see Ali anyway! I just signed up for ARTistry 2007. The best part of this cancellation is I now get to meet Donna Downey also!

Dec 2nd is coming fast and furious and I need to make more cards and finish my tile magnets! Need those magnets from Lee Valley to show up!

BC

Oh yes BEFORE CHILD....

I was chattin to my sister yesterday. My dear dear sister who was just invited to read my blog....

So kindly laughed at my "love to hike and ride my bike in the Fall" comment.

I say: What do you mean I hike...... I bike.... well before Carson anyway....
It doesn't say I BIKE.... it says I like to.....

So hello to you my smart ass sister!

My question to you is ..... "When was the last time you Rollerbladed?"

Twinklin H20's

Okay lovin these little guys! I've heard Gen and Tara talking about them buthave been avoiding them.... well not true just didn't have anything I want to do with them. Now I can't stop LOL...

Pears: I used Buttercup and Oliver Vine.

Leaves: Spiced Pumpkin, Indian Copper and Olive Vine.





















We're having Craig and Ginny over for Brunch this morning for Miller toast! Then Tara will come over and we'll will be factories of all things great.

Signing off with a picture of my boys.....

Cosmo Cricket!

Went to the store today.....

Played for awhile... okay became obsessed. It never fails when you go to do the final glue and stamp steps things don't end up in the same places...... arghhhh

Anyway I had fun. This is a MDF plaque. I embossed the Santa with a new trick I learned for non pigment ink. Stamp in Versa first then the ink (stazon for me this time) and get the powder on.

Two, three four heads are better than mine

Oh I'm having so much fun creating with friends. So many ideas floating around I couldn't take claim on any of these as my own: I got the tile/coaster idea from Tara and Cindy. I borrowed these stamps from Cindy and the chalking idea came from Yolanda. These fruit coasters are me combining these techniques.

Check these out:



Coasters I have some Snowflake ones also

Fridge magnets: I have no color background ones also

And so it BEGINS.....

He grabbed the
Toys R Us flyer, layed it on the floor and started looking....











MOM I WANT THIS CAR (a ride in Diego Jeep)




Note to self DO NOT take him into the toy store!

Full Week

argghhhh this is my full week of work. Once a month I dread this five day work week. I had nnnoooooo idea how lovely having Wednesday off to break up the week would be.

Carson and I do whatever we want on that day. If I want to craft all day and he wants to play in his room or watch TV, whatever I just let him cruise.

He usually does some colouring or painting with me. We usually go outside after lunch at which time I bring a magazine or book to read. Just anything outside of ROUTINE and clocks LOL , expect his nap, that I like to keep on track!

And if we venture out it's to the store,
or according to Carson the crap store,
to visit Gen.

I'll miss my Wednesday this week. My recharge the batteries week!

Halloween

What a great age Carson is at for this!

First we went to Cheryl's & Jason's on Saturday night for the kids party. What a party it was. They don't hold back on the props and games etc.... the kids had a blast. Here's me and my little date for the night!

Then on Halloween Ryan and U Craig took Carson door to door. He was out for about an hour. Trick or Treats and thank you's! We then met up with some others finished up and they came over for a bit. Next thing ya know it's 8:00 and time for bed. Phew another crazy night over LOL... till Christmas anyway.
